Jeff Green's playing time likely hinges on status of Larry Nance Jr. (hamstring, questionable) for Cleveland
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jeff Green could see his minutes drop significantly if Larry Nance Jr. (hamstring, questionable) returns to action against the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
What It Means:
Green has averaged a massive 38.8 minutes per game with Nance on the shelf over the Cavs' last four contests, but averaged only 22.7 over the last four games that Nance played. Nance did go through shootaround on Friday, and it looks like there's a good chance he'll be back in action.
Accounting for Nance's return, numberFire's models project Green for only 19.8 FanDuel points in 22.9 minutes of action on Friday.
